Predating the Revolutionary War, although it wasn't paved until 1905, this road stretches from North Street in the east to Saxon Wood Road in the west. The street, and the area it is in, got their name from the wild roses that grew here. Parts of it near West Street and North St. were deeded to the city in 1957.

AuthorMy name is Cliff Blau. I was born and raised in White Plains, NY, and in 2015 became interested in learning more about the history of this fair city. The pathway I took into White Plains history was to discover the reason for the names of each of the streets. See https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1WvlOinVQnWh4KGDmEN7YPFfg4II for an annotated map of White Plains. Archives
